Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1 pound Sirloin Steak Can be swapped for NY strip or ribeye if desired.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Opt for low-sodium for lower salt levels.
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Choose light or dark based on sweetness preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic can be used for bolder flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Best when freshly cracked.

Equipment

  • Air fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cubed sirloin steak with soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and allow to sit for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This step is crucial for achieving a nice sear and caramelization.
  3. Carefully place the marinated steak bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding.
  4. Air fry the steak bites for 4-6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Aim for an internal temperature of 135°F for medium doneness.
  5. Transfer the steak bites to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
